Cuts and Sores
Dealing with Cuts and Sores
Cuts easily become infected and sores are often scrapes that have become infected. Although cuts and sores often heal by themselves, in order to eliminate the irritation as quickly as possible and to avoid unsightly effects, it's a good idea to treat the cut or sore.
Treatment for cuts and sores
The best treatment for cuts and sores is to prevent or fight the infection while at the same time healing the damage that has already been done to the skin. Shea butter contains healing agents that can both fight infections and restore the skin that has been cut or otherwise damaged to a healthy state. The essential oils that amplify the healing effects of shea butter for cuts and sores include
